Throwback: Lagos Described As "Dirtiest Capital City In The World" In 1972 by Nobody: 2:31am On Jun 24, 2020 |
Lagos, the capital of Nigeria, has been described as the dirtiest capital city in the world. The words are those of Mr. Femi Okunnu, Nigeria's Federal Commissioner for Works and Housing. In an interview with a Lagos newspaper, Mr. Okunnu said: "This city, capital of a nation of sixty million people, is sick and needs urgent purging". He went on to say: "Put bluntly, Lagos is the dirtiest capital city in the world". The Commissioner blamed local authorities for the condition of the city and urged inhabitants to help keep it clean.

Welcome to Onitsha: the city with the world’s worst air 1. This dirty, nasty and rotten onisha village is not only the dirtiest and the most polluted city on the surface of the earth, but 3 out of the 5 SE states are also the dirties and the most polluted in Nigeria. Onitsha is grossly polluted – not just in terms of the air quality, but also the solid waste that litters the streets, blocking drainages and canals. With not a single waste bin in sight, heaps of unregulated rubbish dumps occupy roadsides and street corners. 2. Just imagine, solid waste aka shit/poop littering the streets.. Very sad.. 2 Likes 1 Share |

The entire vicinity of the market is perpetually dusty, as wood-sellers saw lumber into different shapes and sizes. The air here is made worse by all the fine sand particles that fly off the back of trucks as they visit one of the many dredging companies on the bank of the River Niger, just behind the wood market. 1 Like

RuudVanNisteroy: Show picture of Lagos before 1970.. After the war Ibos refused to return to North, out of fear. But homeland was even more scary. They needed a refuge. Lagos was their refuge. The filth in that video came with migrant Ibos after war. Show video of Lagos before war, you will see huge difference. 4 Likes |
